SABC2 introduces a new schedule this Monday 9 February 2026 under the tagline A New Era.

This timeslot begins with the YouTube/eExtra Afrikaans comedy series Ouma Sarie which airs from

Thereafter a new channel exclusive telenovela called Paradys begins on
23 February, with new eps Mondays to Fridays - going head-to-head with e.tv's Kelders van Geheime which moved to 19h00 last month.
This is the scenario of Ouma Sarie:
Straight talking no-nonsense Ouma Sarie, a stalwart of the Karoo community, is the grandmother everyone should have.
Even though her circumstances never change, she always has something new to focus her energy and exuberant spirit on.
Not a day passes without drama, and in her unique way she does and says what she wants - and gets away with it.
And Paradys is described like so:
A multi-generational family story centered round a once-promised “Coloured paradise” that never materialised.
It explores legacy, belonging and unresolved dreams.
